The Ten Year Challenge

So. Curiosity killed the cat and I did a little “10 year challenge” (or whatever it’s called that all the cool kids are posting) justttt to see what 2012 Alicia evolved into….. And. Ummm. What happened from there was grossly unexpected.  Before we get too deep into this, let me clearly disclaim a couple ofContinue reading “The Ten Year Challenge”

I cried at dinner tonight

I cried a little at dinner alone tonight….
And declined meeting new friends (I’m just as shocked as you are)

Dying in Conversation

As you know from my previous couple of blogs, my precious gran is in the end stages of life. I am trying, with all my might to slow down and be present in the process. I want to cherish the last moments and observe outside of what I normally would. Today was good. Relatively speaking.Continue reading “Dying in Conversation”

Dying Hands

As fun as it is to post the dating dramatics and shopping in my closet outfits, my writing (which honestly has always been more for my own therapy than if one person read it or not) lately has been to release and process the fact that I am facing my grandmother’s passing.    It’s probably aContinue reading “Dying Hands”

The Adele Hangover Explained

I cannot remember a time when I anticipated a human’s existence as much as I have the return of Adele.  I tried to prepare myself as much as possible.  I even entertained the thought of waiting til Saturday to download the album (psssh – puh-lease) just so that I could be completely and emotionally availableContinue reading “The Adele Hangover Explained”

Casually Sequined

When is it ok to wear sequins to work? Answer:  It is always ok to wear sequins to work. One of my fav go to casual outfits.  Covered in feathers today and my hair is cooperating.  It’s gonna be a fantastic Friday for sure! Great tops, fabulous old-school clock necklace and awesome chunky bracelet. Oh,Continue reading “Casually Sequined”

Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Polka Dots……(and other ridiculous things we convince ourselves of)

Look, I’ll be honest.  The smallest thing on my body are the holes in my ears for earrings.  That is a cold truth. I’m not advocating that you accept me wearing a thong bikini on the beaches of Brazil.  I wouldn’t wish that upon anybody….. I am, however giving myself permission to stop convincing myselfContinue reading “Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Polka Dots……(and other ridiculous things we convince ourselves of)”
